Yo MTV Raps was on air
It was a clear and smogless day
Beepers were commercially sold
Lakers beat the SuperSonics
and Ice Cube had no events to attend was…
      
          JANUARY 20 1992
      National Good Day Day

Awesome.  I love the dedication.  Whoever this Donovan dude is, he's on the MVP ballot now.

PS:  20th anniversary of Cube's good day was on a Friday.  Spooky, huh?

No, no, the Other Randy Moss

Yesterday was a weird day.  My wife and I finally took down all the Christmas stuff, which meant vacuuming up pine needles for about three hours, then just doing other stupid things around the house.  Essentially, the two weeks between the NFL Conference Championships and the Super Bowl, are just terrible.  In my boredom, I actually watched a few minutes of the Pro Bowl.  I am kind of mindlessly watching the game when I hear the announcer say they are kicking it down to the sideline reporter, Randy Moss.

WOAH.  WAIT.  WHAT?!  F*CKING AWESOME!

Then, they kick it to Randy.  The Randy on the right in the photo.  White Randy.  BORING.

Honestly, that's like false advertising.  I just changed the channel in disgust.  Can you imagine the real Randy Moss as a sideline report?  That would be life-changing.  I would tune into games just to watch him.  Even something terrible like an Arizona Cardinals - Cleveland Browns game would keep me riveted if it meant I would occasionally get to hear number 81.

NBC gave me blue balls.  BIG TIME.

Don't Taze Me Bro!

This one had me on the edge of my seat.  I was also really torn.  On one hand, I really wanted to see him taze himself.  On the other hand, I was rooting for him at the same time.

There has to be some way to incorporate this into an office setting, right?  We had one reader e-mail us about their annoying co-worker eating carrots loudly.  Maybe you could bring in a bunch of quarters and a tazer and try to get five quarters in a cup before they finish eating.  Worst case scenario, you get to take a little tazer-induced nap.
